Description
2017 Château Batailley 5ème Cru Classé, Pauillac
About the Winery: Château Batailley is one of Pauillac’s oldest Grand Cru Classé estates, with a history dating back to the 16th century. Classified as a 5ème Cru in 1855, the château is known for producing classically structured Médoc wines that emphasise balance, precision and longevity. Situated on deep gravel soils typical of Pauillac’s best terroirs, Batailley consistently delivers Cabernet-dominant wines of power, finesse and age-worthy complexity.
Grape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot (typical blend for the estate; proportions vary by vintage)
Appearance: Deep ruby with a dark, concentrated centre and youthful garnet edges.
Aroma: Blackcurrant, blackberry and cedar interwoven with graphite, tobacco leaf, violets and subtle toasted oak. Classic Pauillac aromatics showing elegance and lift.
Palate: Structured and refined with cassis, dark cherry and plum framed by firm yet polished tannins. Notes of cedar, savoury spice and graphite lead into a long, layered finish with excellent balance and freshness.
Body: Medium to full-bodied.
Acidity: Medium to high, providing lift and long-term structure.
Cellaring Potential: Excellent ageing potential: enjoy now or cellar for 10–20 years.
Perfect Pairing: Roast lamb, ribeye steak, venison, mushroom dishes and mature hard cheeses.
Serving Temperature: 16–18°C; consider decanting for 1 hour.
